Great story. Clever narration. Breathtaking protagonist. Happy ending. The great book to spend your time on reading
Meine Mutter hat mir „Lessons in Chemistry“ bereits vor 1,5 Jahren empfohlen. Ich hab ihre Empfehlung über ein halbes Jahr ignoriert, mir das Buch dann doch gekauft und es dann wieder ein ganzes Jahr ungelesen im Regal warten lassen. Tja, wir alle machen wohl manchmal dumme Dinge. Denn dieser Roman ist es zu 100% wert gelesen zu werden. Und zwar schleunigst. Die Geschichte lebt von ihren Figuren, aber die sind allesamt so toll, dass ich sie schon beim lesen tief in mein Herz geschlossen habe. Sie haben mich so bewegt, nicht nur Elizabeth, alle anderen auch und am Ende habe ich geweint. Das passiert fast nie bei Büchern. „Lessons in Chemistry“ ist eine feministische Geschichte, die von Männern (!) und Frauen gelesen werden sollte und die man auch toll finden kann, wenn man sich eigentlich nicht für Chemie interessiert. Aber es ist auch eine Geschichte über Familie, Menschlichkeit und die Gesellschaft der 1960er. Für mich eine absolute Leseempfehlung und ein Jahreshighlight.
Genusslesen 😊
4.3, reicht nicht ganz für fünf Sterne - es gibt ein, zwei konstruierte Begebenheiten und Zufälle, damit das Buch wirklich funktioniert, deshalb kann ich keine volle Punktzahl geben. Aber wirklich toll!
